NORFOLK, VA. — Two Navy commanders will be court-martialed on charges stemming from the 1991 Tailhook sex-abuse scandal, the Navy said. Thomas R. Miller, 47, and Gregory E. Tritt, 43, apparently will be the first officers to face trial as a result of a Pentagon investigation of what went on at the Sept. 7, 1991, convention of Navy and Marine Corps aviators. The officers were notified of the charges, which will be detailed at the courts-martial, a spokesman said. No court dates were set.
